The Linear Collider Forum of America (LCFOA), a not-for-profit industrial forum, will hold its Fall 2006 meeting on October 16-17. The meeting will start at Argonne National Laboratory on the afternoon of Monday, October 16, and will continue all day Tuesday, October 17, at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

Following the last LCFOA meeting at SLAC in May, this session will focus on cavity and surface polishing R&D at Argonne and progress made by the ILC program over the last several months. The meeting will also offer attendees the opportunity to tour new ILC facilities being developed at Fermilab. Industry members will be able to provide feedback and recommendations on needed user facilities and issues such as manufacturing, scheduling and contracting during a panel discussion at the end of the meeting. There will also be a smaller technical workshop for companies interested in magnet manufacturing on Wednesday, October 18.

The meeting is open to all interested parties, and no registration fee is required. To register, please send your name, affiliation, address, phone number and e-mail address to ken.olsen@lcfoa.org.
